Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 49 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers found the products to be of poor quality, often not matching the online descriptions or images, and frequently arriving with sizing issues that did not align with standard measurements. The return and refund processes were a significant source of frustration, described as bureaucratic and intentionally difficult, with strict, often undisclosed, short return windows. Reviewers also faced challenges with orders, including items not arriving as expected or issues with delivery times. Some people were satisfied with their orders, noting that if terms and sizing advice were followed, the items could be a perfect fit and of good quality.

Dresses That Empower!

Wearing their dresses empowers me to embrace my femininity and exude confidence. Each dress is designed with the modern woman in mind, allowing us to conquer the world in style.

Great quality, affordable prices

I was a little worried about the quality of the dress I ordered from this company because the price was so affordable, but I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. The fabric is great quality and the fit is perfect. I will definitely be shopping here again.

The Perfect Dress: Flattering and Comfortable

I recently purchased a dress from this company, and it was love at first wear! The dress not only looked stunning but was also incredibly comfortable. The fabric was soft against my skin, and the cut flattered my figure beautifully. It's rare to find a dress that combines both style and comfort, but this company has nailed it. I can't wait to add more of their dresses to my wardrobe!

Beautiful dress, great value

I found a gorgeous dress on this company's website and was surprised by the great price. When the dress arrived, it was even more beautiful in person. I received so many compliments when I wore it to a party. Thank you for making me feel so glamorous.

They will avoid refunds at all costs

Totally agree with the other comments. Delivery was not in the 6-10 days they quoted and when I asked for a refund they insisted the delivery was earlier and I no longer qualified for a refund. It's just a scam really.
Also dresses are cheaply made - you would be better with a cheap fancy dress costume off amazon.

Endless Compliments!

I've lost count of the number of compliments I've received while wearing their dresses. Strangers stop me to ask where I got my stunning outfit, and I proudly recommend this company.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY

Their delivery is incredibly slow and they do not follow their refund policy at all and make it impossible to send your item back, lost £118 because of them. Horrible owners, they reply incredibly late and do not accommodate to the customers. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY

ZAPAKA worst online experience

I ordered a PROM dress for my daughter, it was a very expensive dress but they sent the wrong size.
When I returned it to the return address written on the posatge in front, they said it was the wrong address, they will not refund or send the dress back.
They operate from somewhere in China and have absolutely useless customer service. Worst online experience I have had.

This company needs to be reported and…

This company needs to be reported and publicise to the public that they are fraudsters and scammers so someone else wouldn't fall victim to this company. I bought a dress from them and l have tried to get in touch with them by all means for a return or exchange but no response from them at all. And they have 7 days return policy which company would have that kind of return policy in this era. I am publishing them around all the social media networks platforms that people should beware of ZAPAKA UK. They are scammers and not based in the UK.

Don't buy from this company

Don't buy from this company. My husband bought me a dress loved it. Wore it twice and hand washed it per instructions. The material has gone into a hole and because I've worn and washed it they won't do anything saying that I must have washed it incorrectly. Very poor customer service and poor quality. Avoid

Avoid like the plague

Simply do not buy anything from this company. UK website, but everything is shipped and must be returned to China.

Failed to deliver on time
Failed to cancel the order.
Agreed a refund, which they did not pay.
Then shipped the dress, weeks late and after the prom, now offering minimum refund. I feel like I have been scammed.

Just do not buy from this company

Just don't risk it

As, with others, I assumed UK in the name meant they were, well, a UK company.
The clothes I ordered arrived-all soaking wet. I assume they froze on the flight because the individual bags weren't properly sealed and have then thawed, as there is no issue with the external packaging.
They have agreed to refund, but are saying I need to pay the postage which clearly I am not doing for unwearable clothes.

Luckily I paid via PayPal so will raise a dispute if they maintain this stance

Do not order from this company

Do not order from this company as it's not reliable.

Firstly they don't mention that the return is to China, I have paid £27 for a return.

They don't reply to your emails. I have sent 3 emails and no reply from the customer service team, more than a week passed.

You can't return the item unless you get the details from the customer service team. A very convenient arrangement for them.

Luckily I got hold of one of the team members using the online chat and managed to get the return address details.

Never again.

Stunning dress. Order ahead.

I was hesitant to order from the company due to poor reviews on here. But I had an excellent experience.

The two dresses I bought were stunning and high quality. I also cancelled one order within 24 hours and was refunded promptly and politely.

Delivery did take longer than if they were UK based. So I would advise ordering in good time. I did not need to make returns.

Absolute shambles of a company

Absolute shambles of a company. Ordered a suit for a prom. Suit was not dispatched on time and therefore wasnt needed. Got in touch and was told could have refund, but they kept on going back and forth to point of dispatch despite asking them to refund. Product still not arrived and I am now forced to wait for it and been asked several times to wait and 'maybe Inwill.changey mind and will keep product'. I cannot tell you hos many times I have told them this is not going to happen as occassion passed and dont need, only to get same generic email stating the same as prior email. Once they even said they hope I keep the dress when in fact I ordered suit. If I could give no stars I would

Returns are to China, had to fight to get refund

My daughter was buying a prom dress, so of course you want to buy, try, and return if it isn't right. Most clothing companies make this easy. This website presents as if it's UK (.co.uk domain), and on its return policy it says returns are at your expense, but nothing about this being to China. Had to pay £18 to return the dress, finding the cheapest courier myself (every other company I've ever bought clothes from online had a service where you print a label for their chosen courier, even if you have to pay). Then it took about 8 emails to finally get a refund, with them repeatedly asking for the tracking number, which I gave them every time (with a link showing it had been delivered). The refund was £6 short but by then I was just happy to have the money! But gave 2 stars as I did get the money back in the end.
